FunnyNews.today daily briefing — August 13, 2026
Providence has made a respectable case for treating the lunch hour as a tiny creative emergency.
At noon on Thursday, August 13, Roger Williams National Memorial is hosting a free songwriting workshop led by Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame inductee Mark Cutler. The National Park Service says no prior musical experience is required, which is excellent news for everyone who has carried a chorus around in their head but never given it a proper chair.
The one-hour session is part of the memorial’s Lunchtime Arts in the Park program. The listed event is free and family-friendly, with Cutler returning for a series of monthly workshops through September. The prompt is refreshingly low-pressure: bring whatever musical confidence you have, including the kind that needs to be assembled at the table.
It also fits the site. The memorial’s grounds were designed as a place for people to gather and share ideas, according to the NPS. On this particular Thursday, those ideas may acquire a bridge, a rhyme, or at minimum an unusually committed hand clap.
